Rush Limbaugh has drawn the ire of celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who sent a letter to the Palm Beach County state attorney requesting an investigation into whether the popular radio host should be prosecuted for calling a law student a slut and prostitute last week.

I wish a lawyer would sue her, she slanders conservatives too frequently. Why doesn’t she go after democrats and the likes of Bill Marher, for calling Palin the C word and worse, and making fun of her Downs Syndrome Baby, where was Allred then?

Hotair ^ | 03/09/2012 | Tina KorbeGo figure: Gotcha lawyer Gloria Allred has proved herself more than willing to embroil herself in the controversy that continues to plague radio host Rush Limbaugh. The president of the Womenâs Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund sent a letter to the county prosecutor of West Palm Beach, Florida, to call for an investigation into whether Limbaugh violated Florida defamation law. From TPM: Allred cites Section 836.04 of Florida Statute, which says that âwhoever speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor...

livewire.talkingpointsmemo.comGloria Allred has sent a letter to Denise Nieman, the County Prosecutor in West Palm Beach, Florida, on behalf of the Womens Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, asking for an investigation into whether Rush Limbaugh violated Florida defamation law when he called Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute." Allred cites Section 836.04 of Florida Statute, which says that "whoever speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree."

hollywoodreporter.com ^ | March 8, 2012 | Paul BondFeminist attorney-activist Gloria Allred is asking authorities in Florida to figure out whether Rush Limbaugh violated laws when he ridiculed Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke. In a letter to County Attorney Denise Nieman in West Palm Beach, Florida, dated March 8, Allred says Limbaugh may have violated a misdemeanor statute against defamation. "Mr. Limbaugh has publicly acknowledged that his reference to Ms. Fluke as a 'slut' and a 'prostitute' were baseless and false," Allred wrote. Allred said Nieman's office should "open an investigation into whether or not Mr. Rush Limbaugh is in violation of Section 836.04 of Florida Statutes....

Gloria supports legalization of prostitution probably has marched in the “Slut Walks” and if not she surely supports women who hold signs in favor of Slut Pride. It is the really cool thing to do if you are a feminist now.

She sees nothing wrong with women who choose to be prostitutes. So why is she upset with Rush calling a women a prostitute when she defend prostitution as a worthwhile profession?

“In 1994, Allred wrote an editorial for the December 6 issue of the Los Angeles Times, titled “Prosecution or Persecution,” in which she asserted that laws prohibiting prostitution are sexist and victimize women. She advocated legalization and regulation of the sex trade in order to reduce sexually transmitted diseases and drug abuse. According to Allred, “Unprotected, uninsured sex workers are the real victims who deserve legal status and an end to government-funded harassment.” http://www.answers.com/topic/gloria-allred

Didn’t Allred recently accidentally and inappropriately release her massive list of lib press release contacts to keep her name constantly in the press? Obviously, Rush could “help her out” by advertising her released info and asking his listeners to contact all those the media people (over and over again) to insure that Gloria achieves the level of media hog visability she is seeking.

A few million calls and emails a day to those on her list would get Gloria what she deserves.

The [Florida} statute stipulates that anyone who speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. Allred explained that the statute recently came to her attention as having never been repealed, and that it could very well apply to Limbaughs remarks as his show is broadcast from West Palm Beach.

Doesn't Ms Allred think this is an archaic law which reflects a male supremacist double standard on women's worth? Or will she advocate the use of the law to defend poor women of color, by the prosecution of all rappers and hiphop stations for using the term "ho?" Does she only care when privileged, educated young white women are defamed?

The statute stipulates that anyone who speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Fluke is chaste? Guess she doesn't need $1,000 per year for condoms.

The law is discriminatory on it’s face since it only applies to the virtue of a woman and doesn’t provide equal protection for a man. Seems to me that would make it unconstitutional. I wonder if in any of her national news coverage Ms Alred has done the same thing. Not calling some woman a sl*t but impuning her virtue, etc in other areas. Turn around is fair play.
